Description

Trauma is reflected in how youth and children learn, play and engage. These behaviours can be commonly misinterpreted as acting out.

This workshop will focus on giving a better understanding of the pre-migration experiences of immigrant and refugee youth and children, and will provide simple strategies to help them cope with trauma.
